    You'll probably have it long before you think you will. Bought my R61 in late February. Although the estimated ship date was about 2 wks out, it actally shipped about 1 wk after I ordered it and arrive here in Chgo about 4 days later.

    I ordered a T61P from them a while back, and the estimated ship date wasn't posted because of a lack of parts. However, it was on my doorstep three days after ordering. I just ordered a T61 on Monday, and the ship date is marked at the 24th. Hopefully it will go earlier than that.
